Manufacturing processes

Plastic Injection Machine

Injection moulding is the most common manufacturing process for plastic parts. Parts vary greatly in size, complexity, and application. The process needs three things: an injection moulding machine, raw plastic, and a mould. The plastic is melted in the machine, injected into the mould, and cools to form the final part.

This educational machine reproduces the same process at a scale and price suitable for teaching. Students can run a full moulding cycle, change the mould, and observe the effect of temperature and pressure on the part quality.
